    Summary of Collection: This information collection is used by the 
Forest Service to evaluate and ensure that authorized uses of National 
Forest System (NFS) lands are in the public interest and are compatible 
with the agency's mission. The information helps the agency identify 
environmental and social impacts of special uses for purposes of 
compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 
program administration. In addition, the agency uses the information to 
ascertain whether the land use fee being charged for special use 
authorizations is based on market value. The information is collected 
through application forms and terms and conditions in special use 
authorizations and operating plans. Ongoing uses must be monitored to 
ensure compliance with the terms of the corresponding authorizations. 
In certain situations, information from the authorization holder is the 
only way the Forest Service can verify compliance with the terms of an 
authorization.
    Need and Use of the Information: The information collected is used 
to issue permits and leases, enforce compliance with agreements, and 
reports are generated to ensure fees are paid (Such as Recreation 
Residence Cabins) & to monitor growth of the Special Use Program, this 
helps with budget forecasting & program development.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 5,150.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 41,200.
